It’s a story of mystery, models, and sordid affairs.film to you, this is actually the history behind the famous Rolls-Royce mascot.

“She was a strong, intelligent, self‑assured and highly influential woman in an automotive world that was then almost entirely male-dominated.”In her early adulthood, Eleanor Thomson worked as an assistant to Claude Johnson, General Secretary of the Automobile Club of Great Britain & Ireland and soon-to-be business partner of The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls.for the residents in her bohemian apartment building, including for an illustrator called Charles Sykes.
Rolls-Royce said: “It has been confirmed that Eleanor was the model: whether the mascot was a token of appreciation from Sykes to his friend and employer, or made at Eleanor’s instigation as a gift for her lover, remains a mystery. “Whatever the truth, Montagu displayed it on every Rolls-Royce car he owned until his death in 1929; perhaps as a discreet acknowledgment of hisEleanor was one of the hundreds who died when the P&O passenger ship SS Persia sank in 1915 but Montagu was one of the few survivors.Un.
